For the purpcse 0f whiting fiw drum, me u hQa-d theleof is shown provided with 511 .e usual internal rim' i 1 that mes ws w H11 9 ing 010 a full, dear, pinion 12 'arried by a mounted in suitable bearim (in the matey and of the pulley l4 and a l shaft 13 carried a l'ptiun o! the invsntion, such Hi Qnanh others skiliod in 'he art fowhich it apps? ins in max-i and use thc game.

My pr zwenf invention has for provide highly eiiicivn simpl0 vombliwu c 'onnoczions (16 :g and to t'xis @1311 it um bait (not Show: i A 4, and wm'ir' unions 0" i the drum and the rev dixoc'ions, .ii

@1 11 the c'ijacent v I la space hem Q Big. L. some Q3115 spur gear and extending L. u m me arming V of working butter by hand. The two lifting abutments will, of course, be brought into action in succession.

The churn would be operative with but Lpne lifting abutment, but the action would not be continuous, and there would be 'a very considerabl waste of time as well as of. power. More t an twolifting abutments may be em loyed, but the best results can beobtained y the use of the two lifting abutmnts arranged diametrically opposite to each other. r

By reference particularly to Fig. 2, it will be noted that the butter working devices within the drum, to-Wit, the paddle roller 7 and liftipgabutments 10, are bi-symmetdesirable 'to rotate the drum in one directiori,- and sometimes desirable to rotate the drum in'the other direction, according to the position which the churn must occupy with respect to certain. power shafts from which power is-supplied to drive the machine.

The churn illustrated is a single speed drive.' So far as the broad idea of this inventionis concerned, the churn might have a two speed drive, but I believe thatwith a churn of this kind, the single speed drive would be found efiicient both for the el1urn-' ing and butter working actions.

What I claim is:

1. The combination witha horizontally disposed rotary drum, of a single centrally disposed paddle roller within said drum, a pair of diametrically opposite radially disposed lifting abutments secured within said drum and terminating at their inner edges in close proximity to said roller, and means fo rotatin said drum in one direction and the said ro ler in the opposite direction, substantially as described.

2. The combination with a horizontally disposed rotary drum, of a centrally located paddle roller within said drum, a pair of diametrically opposite radially disposed litting abutments secured within said drum with their outer edges spaced from the shell of the drum and with their inner edges terminating in close proximity to the said roller, and means for rotating said drum in one direction. and said roller in the opposite direction, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
